be an anarchist

I don't have too many original ideas. I just read and see other stuff and then start to think about it. ShadowingGod.com wrote on this topic and it made me think. What does it mean to be in the world but not of the world?

I think it is the desire of each human heart. I think some part of us really wants to be different, to escape, to rise above what we see this world has to offer. I think it is what causes people to act, it motivates them to something, to a belief that there is something better.

When I think of being in the world I can't help but know that I am constrained within its limits and influenced by its values. However, I do not have to live according to its ways. I am blessed with every spiritual blessing. That must mean something. That must mean that as heaven invades my life, I invade this of world and become something / someone different.

Heaven, Holy Spirit fill my life and enable me to rise above. I do not have to fear or covet or doubt or steal or kill or hate or seek revenge or protect self or push or shove or win. No I can be this new man Jesus has made me to be. I can confidently put on the new self, the new mind, the new cloths, the new life and transcend the consequences of worldly anarchy. I can be an anarchist in its most pure and holy sense - in the world but not of the world.
